Your Taxes, Your Career
The US Government provides some of the most extensive sources of career information available on the internet. Whether you are looking to make a career change, want information about starting your own business or need assistance with growing your small business, there is a site for you. Below I have listed some of my favorite resources:
CAREER CHANGE
This is an extraordinarily comprehensive site where you can research wages and employment trends, occupational requirements, state by state labor market conditions, millions of employer contacts nationwide, and peruse the most extensive career resource library online.
Updated every two years by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Occupational Outlook Handbook details job responsibilities, educational requirements, and outlook information for a wide range of occupations.
Occupational Outlook Quarterly
Besides providing occupational outlook predictions, the Quarterly has several very useful article archives, including a section called, You’re a What?, that provides information about unusual occupations and career paths.
START/GROW YOUR OWN BUSINESS
US Small Business Administration
A mega site filled with resources for both the novice and seasoned entrepreneur.
The Online Women's Business Center
Created through a public-private partnership between the US Small Business Administration and private corporations, this site offers everything from individual counseling by e-mail to the most comprehensive information on how to secure financing, contracts and grants for your business. Tremendously useful site.
